Where it came from
Gyrus, Waker of Corpses was released in 2018 as part of the Commander 2018 set for Magic: The Gathering. Specifically featured as the face card for the Nature of the Beast preconstructed deck, the card was designed to highlight the Golgari color identity's focus on graveyard interaction and token strategies. The mechanics are centered around an exiling effect that grows the creature's power, rewarding players for aggressive combat decisions.
The art for Gyrus was created by illustrator Svetlin Velinov. In designing the entity, the artistic direction aimed for an eldritch, grotesque aesthetic that fits the Jund (Red, Green, Black) color combination, emphasizing its role as a necromantic behemoth. Upon its release, the card received moderate attention from the Commander community for its unique scaling ability, though it remains a niche choice compared to more dominant graveyard-themed commanders.
